FINALLY! Morgan Freeman gets an Oscar..

[tridim]

It's about freaking time.

[Cadence]

1. No doubt!!

I love him.

[Guaranteed]

2. Yup. Richly deserved. nt

[sundog]

3. woo hoo!!!

:bounce:

[ProudToBeLiberal]

4. did he win for best supporting actor?

is so woot woot :)

[Deja Q]

5. And unlike Halle Berry, he DESERVES it.

Far better actor.

[Kahuna]

24. Why are you comparing him to Halle Berry?

:shrug:

[xmas74]

6. He deserved on years ago.

[Guaranteed]

9. Yup. nt

[HeeBGBz]

7. I love that man

He seems to have such a warm soul.

[candy]

8. The greatest voice I have ever heard. I'm thrilled for him.

[vi5]

10. This makes up for his overlooked performance as Easy Reader..

..on Electric Company. Some of his finest work, and the fact that he won no awards for it is an injustice spanning the decades.


In all seriousness Morgan is the man. This is a very much deserved award for him.

[Robeson]

13. Hey, I dicovered Morgan Freeman before most even knew...

...abouth him. I discovered him on the Electric Company. Don't ever underestimate the power of Easy Reader.....

[charlyvi]

16. He was also on the soap "Another World"

He was wonderful on it.

[BlackVelvetElvis]

18. I remember that too.

He wore some groovy threads back in the day.

[kaitykaity]

11. He just is awesome.

I loved him in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves
of all things.

[Spazito]

12. I agree, he was awesome in that and in Glory as well

it was long overdue, imo!

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

17. I think he was equally as deserving as Denzel Washington was, who won

supporting actor in "Glory" (although Denzel was great in that film as well and deserved his award).

I still have never seen him as "Fast Black" in the old B movie "Street Smart". Supposed to be good.

[Gloria]

14. I could watch the Shawshank Redemption over and over...and

have! Love him!

But I also love Alan Alda....

[blueblitzkrieg]

15. Me too! Shawshank rocks.

So happy for Morgan!

[peekaloo]

19. So wonderful in 'Driving Miss Daisy' and the glue that held 'Seven'

together.

[charlyvi]

26. He was great in Seven.

Actually, everyone was great in Seven. It was a great movie.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

20. He's like Robert Duvall. Always solid, and makes every movie he's

in better, even if the movie's lame.

[dsc]

21. I am so glad he won

The fact he hadn't won before was nothing short of scandalous. He wasn't even nominated for Clean and Sober where he was terrific. He didn't win for Driving Miss Daisy where he was terrific and wasn't even nominated for Lean on Me (same year where he was terrific). Even in some less than terrific films like Prince of Thieves he has been wonderful. It is about damn time.

[ET Awful]

22. I've been rooting for him to get one since Glory came out.

He's earned it, and he's waited long enough (and I haven't even seen the movie he won for yet). :)

[tinfoilinfor2005]

23. Isn't he the kind of person you just know you would like if you knew him?

Oh, and P.S., I loved his line in the Robin Hood movie, "Is there no sun in this Godforsaken land?" I have used that everytime it has rained for more than three days straight!

[yellowdogintexas]

27. yep I have always thought he was someone I would like to know

[yellowdogintexas]

25. HOORAY. I have admired his work since he was on "Another World"

in daytime and "Electric Company"

He is a fine fine actor.


Well deserved
